Do you play Spore or Little Big Planet? Friend me up!
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in nptech, rants on January 11, 2010
Thanks to the MacArthur Foundation’s partnerships with EA and Sony for the Digital Media and Learning Competition, I am learning more about the games Little Big Planet (on PS3) and Spore: Galactic Adventures (on Mac or Windows).
I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to play them (of course) but I have been dipping my toe in the water. In Spore I have graduated from the primordial ooze on up to “creature stage,” and in LBP I have been exploring The Savannah and unlocked the tools to make my own “level” in the game.
Celebrating at 7 months
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in Izzy, politics, rants on November 7, 2009
Last weekend, I was looking at Izzy and he seemed to age before my eyes. On Saturday, I took him with me canvassing door-to-door for my old friend Mark Kleinschmidt who was running for Mayor of Chapel Hill. Izzy enjoyed it most of the way, and I figured it couldn’t hurt to entice voters with an adorable, friendly baby. It seems to have worked, because on Tuesday Izzy turned 7 months old and he also attended the victory party of the next Mayor of Chapel Hill! (He had already gone home to bed by the time the picture below was taken.)
